The work is in very good condition. The canvas is unlined. There is a faint horizontal stretcher bar mark near the upper edge of the canvas. There is a three inch line of abrasion in the green pigments between the horse's legs. There is some scattered craquelure throughout and some pigment shrinkage in the pink pigments of the dress worn by the second leftmost figure. Under UV light, a few pindot strokes of inpainting along the upper and lower edges, likely to address prior frame abrasion.
